Originally posted by Palestinian i also learned about Jesus in my history class in school. But I consider the Bible to be a historical record as much as it is a religious record. I don't differentiate between the Bible and other history books. The Gospels were written by 70 different historians if I'm not mistaken.

Great, you learned about Jesus in your history class. Well, I guess it is true then. Sorry, I went to the best high-school in Oklahoma and he seemed to never be mentioned in mine, hmmmm.... why is that, oh yeah, there is no proof of his exsistance outside of the bible. Are you missing the point entirely here? Look at artic repeatedly mentioning that there is only that historical record of him. The other ones are shotty to say the least and arctic already told you why. Please, if you have a record of signifigance that you want to post that helps prove his existence, please do so.
"Historians" or searchers of explainations and an after-life? Maybe power/fame hungry. Each of their own opinion? Contradictions, we have been through this before...
